Editor’s Note
My little boy was an active babe and couldn’t stay still for longer than a minute. The Jumperoo (an older model) gave me back my sanity! I could get work done and he would very happily entertain himself, jumping about while his hands got busy with the play console. A lifesaver in my book.”
